Yes, it's considered VERY high. In fact, in most people a dose like that could depress your system.

I have been a long time opiate user because of a chronic pain condition. I am currently considered to be on a VERY high dosage of morphine. I take MS contin which is a slow-release form of morphine in the morning and at night each 60mgs. Then for "break through pain management' I take liquid morphine which is imediately active in your system and kills pain in about 15-25 minutes up to six times a day at a dosage of 80mgs each.

So yes, 750mgs for a single dose is ridiculously high for the MAJORITY of people. It is reasonable to assume a dosage that high in your average person would at the very least put them out (asleep) for hours, and at the worst it could depress lung fuction and cause what people consider an "overdose". Over a longer period of time it could be reasonable depending on whether you've been a long-time user or have a high dependancy like i do.

Hope this helps.

What is the best painkiller for knee pain?

For a knee replacement I am not sure how intense the surgery and physical pain afterwords is so I can not tell you an exact answer but most likely the doctor would either give you high Oxycontin's (atleast 40mg, the highest they make is 80mg and who knows maybe you will get 80mg, if the pain is as bad as back surgery, probably 80mg, if much less severe (not MUCH less just a noticeable difference in pain, then probably 40mg or 60mg Oxycontin pills) or you might get morphine (sorry but I am unfamiliar with the dosages of morphine, but I do know that even the lowest dose of morphine is pretty intense (intense as in extreme pain relief) so the lowest dosage of morphine is probably about equal to 40mg of Oxycodone (which is the drug in percocet and drug in Oxycontin as well, Oxycontin is called oxy-contin because its continual release, it has a coating on it and its a very small pill, it has no Tylenol in it like percocets do.) In conclusion, you would only get Oxycontin or morphine, there arent any other narcotic pain relievers (that are strong enough (for example there is vicodin, a weak percocet, and theres also darvacet, like a weak vicodin, and probably some others too) it really just depends on the doctor in the end. If your having financial problems he may give you the one that is cheaper (im not sure which that is) but equal in pain relief to the other drug, so theres nothing to worry about.
